We are 2 guys. One Cameroonian and one South African. It has taken over 3 months to get a visa from the SA Embassy in Cameroon. They come up with so many excuses and if you don't persist - or get so tired after the 11th visit - they hope you will go away and nothing will happen.

We are in a relationship and plan to get married soon so that we can both live in Cape Town in peace. As a Cameroonian he will be jailed for a minimum of 5 years because he gay. So he needs to keep this very quiet so that his life is not in danger. Please help with your best advice.

Hi wayneishappy

Sorry for the late reply - I would suggest that you apply for this in South Africa to avoid the legal issues you speak about in your home country. Take a holiday and plan it well. Permits are coming much faster out of Home Affairs now. You can search on Google and find many immigration companies that can help you - only accept the free advice from immigration lawyers - ignore the rest.

Good luck!
